Congratulations to the winners! This is a meaningful day for you, and to celebrate it we are sending your certificates of achievement to your emails. Your IELTS results will be displayed in the IELTS-Blog hall of fame – please feel free to show off to your friends!

So, how did the winners study to get a high IELTS score? We’ll have to ask them! All we know so far is that Trinadh used our IELTS practice tests to simulate the test and sharpen his exam-taking skills.

Over the years we saw times and times again, that methods and strategies that worked for the winners can work well for other IELTS test takers. For this reason we always ask the winners to share their best IELTS tips and advice with our readers. Anything they wish to share will be posted on IELTS-Blog without delay, so everyone can use the same technique and get a better score in their own exam this month.
